The advantages of 3D printing in model making
High accuracy and express delivery
Compared to other methods of manufacturing models for the metal industry, 3D printing makes it possible to create models in a matter of hours or days, even for the largest ones. In addition, it guarantees exceptional precision thanks to its digital manufacturing process.
Low-cost manufacturing process
3D printing offers casting models at low cost, optimizing the production process and reducing associated expenses. This economic advantage makes the technology an attractive option for companies seeking efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the manufacture of castings.
Recommended materials
PLA
PLA stands out as an optimal material for manufacturing casting models due to its ease of printing, attractive finish and affordable cost. In addition, its low shrinkage coefficient makes it ideal for printing large volume models.
Polycast
Polycast is the right material for industries using the lost wax method. The manufactured parts are of high quality and do not leave residues, guaranteeing exceptional casting results.
How to 3D print your casting model with us?
Discover how 3D printing offers new possibilities for the manufacture of foundry models and molds.
01. 3D design analysis
Our first phase involves the analysis of the 3D design of your casting model to be printed. You just need to send us the model in .stl or .step format so we can evaluate it. In case we detect errors, we will get in touch; otherwise, we will proceed with the next phase.
02. 3D printing preparation
Based on your specifications, we will generate the code that will then be sent to the 3D printer. We will adjust parameters such as material, resolution and infill to ensure a successful print.
03. 3D printing of the model
With the code ready, we will start 3D printing your casting model. After the part is printed, we will perform pre-shipment preparation, which includes verification of measurements, removal of supports, cleaning and packaging.
